We can help.

The compassionate team of attorneys at Black Law Group understand the emotional distress, financial hardships, and physical pain that frequently results when you or someone you love is involved in a trucking accident. Large Trucks (i.e. "18-wheelers", "big-rigs", "tractor-trailers", and "big-rigs") constitute the most dangerous motor vehicles traveling New Mexico roadways. The aftermath of a tractor-trailer crash often results in intense pain, prolonged physical therapy and/or rehabilitation, and staggering medical costs. Trucking accident victims often are robbed of simple life pleasures, such as playing catch with their child or walking on the beach with a spouse.

At Black Law Group, we are well aware of the toll inflicted on victimsof commercial trucking accidents. Our team of experienced trucking accident lawyers and tractor-trailer collision reconstruction experts carefully investigate large truck crashes. Our trucking accident attorneys engage in persuasive negotiation with insurance companies and tenaciously advocate for our clients in the courtroom. Our focus is to put you on the road to recovery and to represent you in pursuing the financial compensation to reclaim your life and to move past your tragic trucking accident.

Seeking the trucking lawsuit verdict or settlement you are entitled to under law.

A large truck collision constitutes more than a "motor vehicle crash with a large vehicle". This type of accident claim involves complicated issues and requires experience with the following:

Extensive knowledge of regulations and laws that govern commercial carriers

Insufficient screening, training, or supervision of drivers by trucking companies

Distracted drivers (cell phone use, adjusting radio, etc.)

Defective trucks or components

Liability of the trucking company and truck driver generally involves establishing negligence. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and state law heavily regulates the trucking industry. A violation of these regulations can constitute a basis for imposing liability.

We Bring the Experience You Need

Importance of Preserving Evidence Following a Trucking Accident

These cases are challenging because vital evidence often conveniently "vanishes". Commercial carriers can dispatch investigators to a crash site within minutes of a collision. The tractor-trailer might be moved and/or repaired, which could make it harder for an accident reconstruction expert to determine the cause of the collision. When you are involved in a big-rig accident, it is important to contact an experienced New Mexico trucking accident lawyer immediately so that this crucial evidence can be preserved.

The driver "logbook" and on-board data recorder also can be altered. Logbooks memorialize the number of hours drivers have been on the road along with the frequency and duration of rest periods. Many drivers alter these logs or keep dual logs. "Hours of service" regulations impose restrictions designed to prevent fatigue-related crashes. Data from the truck's on-board data recorder also may provide valuable information regarding hours of service, sudden braking, maintenance issues, and more. This data can be erased unless your trucking accident lawyer takes immediate steps to put the trucking company on notice that the data must be preserved.

Tough. Experienced. Dedicated.
